I loved the cover, brilliantly illustrated. The writing style is different and I must commend the author for her innovative approach, which reflected the interests and lifestyle of the main character. I still cannot decide if Ursula is a likeable character or not as my opinion of her was not always consistent. I thought Anne-Marie's writing explained the period the story was written in extremely well. Her characterisations were well thought out and I felt I could see and hear the people she included in her tale. The contrast between the town and country characters and the aristocracy and 'lower orders' was woven in to the story very skilfully. I must admit to finding the story a little slow on occasion but very enjoyable overall.
